My local Home Depot has T5 fixtures for very cheap. No 8 bangers, but the one and two bulb units look nice. 2, 3, &4 footers.
The problem is that the bulbs they come with are the only option and I have no idea what the color spectrum is. It looks very white on display.

Chances are you have a garden shop near you. I use Sunblaster T-5 fixtures to veg with. They come with the bulb and are $24 for a 24" in canada. They also have an optional reflector for $13 which reflects a good deal of light. They pull 27 watts.

This will be more pricey than a home depot light but come with a bulb made for this and they can be hooked in a series so you can customize your light to the space.
